3 Minimum Education Requirements for DoD Personnel Involved in Human Research Protection The Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to conducting high-quality and ethical research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) involving human subjects. This commitment is reflected in DoD Instruction (DoDI) , Protection of Human Subjects and Adherence to Ethical Standards in DoD-Supported Research. DoDI requires the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (ASD(R&E)) to establish a framework for educational training requirements for DoD personnel in key roles of a DoD human research protection program (HRPP) (paragraph 1.f. of Enclosure 2). This guidance document provides the ASD(R&E) s framework by identifying the minimum education requirements for the key roles in an HRPP so as to provide a baseline to standardize education across the DoD Components. DoDI requires education and training for all DoD personnel involved in the conduct, review, or approval of research involving human subjects, further the education shall be commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the DoD personnel (DoDI , section 5 of Enclosure 3). To comply with these requirements, this guidance document, Minimum Education Requirements for DoD Personnel Involved in Human Research Protection provides the ASD(R&E) s framework by grouping the HRPP roles into 10 categories of key roles based on similar duties and responsibilities for the conduct, review, approval, or oversight of research (Table 1). This guidance document identifies and includes a brief description of the minimum educational topics (Table 2) for the key roles. This guidance document then identifies which education topics are required for which HRPP role categories (Table 3). Finally, it offers a standard DoD education certificate template for use among HRPP personnel of different DoD Components (Attachment 1). In doing so, this guidance document affords a baseline by which to standardize education across the DoD Components. ASD(R&E) has not established specific or detailed course content for each educational topic beyond the descriptions in Table 2. However, it has identified which education topics are required for each HRPP role category. When personnel participate in more than one HRPP role, the person is required to meet the training requirements for each role. To ensure that the educational content is appropriate for each role, DoD Components should tailor the depth of the ethics, regulations, policies, and procedures covered for each topic to the needs of the people in that role. DoDI requires the DoD Components have policies and procedures to implement the ASD(R&E) s framework for HRPP education (paragraph 1.c.(5) of Enclosure 3). In addition to complying with training requirements, DoD Components need to evaluate and approve training material to ensure the information is accurate and complete and that the material is at the appropriate breadth and depth for the intended HRPP role. While commercial vendors may provide many of the educational topics, they do not typically provide DoD-specific regulatory content, nor may they be commensurate for the duties and responsibilities of each role requiring that educational topic. DoD Components should carefully assess commercial vendor educational topic modules in light of each HRPP category of key role and be prepared to create training modules to fill any commercial gaps in order to meet the scope of the minimum education requirements.
4 DoD Components must also document HRPP training. The documentation shall include the information captured in the sample education certificate template at Attachment 1. The education certificate shall identify the HRPP role(s) for which the appropriate educational topics have been completed, and annotate any other applicable educational topics that were completed. To facilitate collaboration among HRPP personnel of different DoD Institutions, DoD Components are encouraged to use the DoD education certificate at Attachment 1. DoD Components may choose to use a different format to document training, but the document should contain at least the same information as the certificate in Attachment 1. The training certificate, when presented to a DoD institution upon collaboration or reassignment, should satisfy the DoD Component s requirement to ensure that appropriate training has been completed and recorded. (However, a requirement for knowledge of DoD Component-specific policies and procedures may still need to be met). DoD Components are responsible for maintaining descriptive training and education documentation supporting award of the certificate (e.g., course content, hours of training). DoD personnel will complete their required educational topics before assuming their DoD HRPP duties. They may assume their duty position, but they may not be involved in any HRPP actions until required HRPP training is complete. The required educational topics shall be repeated at least every three years. Due to constantly evolving ethical and regulatory issues, DoD personnel must also participate in continuing education during the intervening years. The ASD(R&E) has not specified content and hours for continuing education. In order to sustain retention of Federal and DoD policies and procedures, DoD Components will consider requiring personnel taking this training for the first time to retake some or all of the educational topics approximately 12 months after their initial training. DoD Components should establish policies and procedures to implement and oversee effective education and training that meets these minimum education requirements. Table 1. Description of the 10 Categories of Roles in the DoD HRPPs Common roles in the DoD HRPPs have been grouped into 10 categories based on common education requirements. For each category identified in Table 3, some examples and/or a short description are provided below. Personnel who cannot identify their role in the HRPP or align themselves with a column in the table should contact their Institutional Review Board (IRB) office or DoD Component HRPP headquarters office for guidance. Category 1. Senior DoD Component Leadership: Examples include, but are not limited to, the Senior DoD Component Designated Official identified in the Component s HRPP Management Plan, the person(s) responsible for approving and accepting assurances, the DoD Coordinating Committee for Human Research Protection Programs (CCHRPP) member, and other personnel above the organizational level of the DoD Component HRPP Headquarters Oversight office. Institutional Officials (IO): The senior person authorized to establish and responsible to maintain the HRPP for the DoD institution. If the institution has a Federal assurance, this is the individual in the institution who signs the Federal assurance and is responsible for the institution s compliance with the terms of the assurance. 2
5 Category 2. DoD Component HQ Oversight Personnel: Personnel responsible to the Senior DoD Component Leadership for implementing the Component s HRPP Management Plan and providing day-today guidance and oversight to the Component s institutions. Role Category 3. Institutional Review Board Members: All members of the IRB (e.g., Chairs, co-chairs, primary members, alternate members, prisoner representative, community members, etc.). Consultants (i.e., non-voting members) to the IRB are not required to have the same level of education as the voting members, but at a minimum should be educated on the ethics, policies, or other topics for which they are being asked to consult. Institutional Review Board Support Staff: The personnel supporting the IRB members (e.g., staff who are advising the investigators, conducting preliminary review of protocols before submission to the board, and providing training to HRPP personnel). Category 4. Advisors to the Institutional Official: Personnel (e.g., attorneys, ethicists) outside of the IRB and IRB Office who provide an interpretation of part 219 of title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR 219), DoDI , and other HRPP policies to the institutional official. Category 5. Investigators: Personnel who are responsible for creating the research protocol and/or conducting the research. There may be more than one investigator on a protocol. Category 6. Research Support Personnel: Personnel who are engaged in the research, but who are participating in a limited and/or defined part of the research protocol under the direct supervision or guidance of an investigator. Category 7. Research Monitors, Ombudsman, Subject Advocates, Data Safety Monitoring Boards (DSMBs): Personnel who are not part of the research team and who have been appointed by the IRB or are identified in the IRB-approved protocol to act on behalf of the IRB (e.g., Research Monitor or Ombudsman) or on behalf of the research subject (e.g., Subject Advocate). Personnel in this category should be educated on the ethical and regulatory topics at a depth appropriate for which they are being tasked. Category 8. Research Coordinators, Clinical Coordinators, Study Coordinators, and Research Administrators: Personnel, such as the Research Coordinators, Clinical Coordinators, Study Coordinators, and Research Administrators, responsible for conducting the research under the auspices of the investigator(s) or personnel involved in the preparation and administration of research protocols. 3
6 Category 9. Regulatory Oversight of Extramural Human Subject Research: Personnel involved in ensuring the research involving human subjects that is supported by DoD, but conducted by non-dod institutions, is compliant with DoD Component policies. For extramural contracts, this role is known as the Human Research Protection Official. Category 10. Research Subjects: Personnel participating in human subject research. Table 2. Description of the Educational Topics Following is a brief outline of the required content for each educational topic. A DoD Component may choose to broaden the scope of each topic. The depth or level of detail covered in each topic should be appropriate for the duties and responsibilities of the HRPP role being undertaken by the DoD personnel. Educational Topic A.
